The new compiler broke all the extensions doing compiler patches. We promised not to help them when those break but it seems enough people use those extensions that we sort of got forced into finding some solution, so this makes these changes:
these_broke_before_and_will_break_againi_will_not_ask_for_help_when_these_breaknow returns some stubs that pretend to be the old compiler. It also emits an event so -gui can show a warning.Lack of tests is intentional since this will be removed at some point when we have a proper API we can tell people to use
